Uprooted Palestinians are at the heart of the conflict in the M.E Palestinians uprooted by force of arms. Yet faced immense difficulties have survived, kept alive their history and culture, passed keys of family homes in occupied Palestine from one generation to the next.

Al-Quds Brigades' intelligence apparatus was able Saturday to
penetrate 5000 mobile phones that belong to Zionist soldiers who are taking part
in the offensive against Gaza, and sent them warning messages in Hebrew that
say:

"We will turn Gaza into a graveyard for your soldiers, and will turn Tel
Aviv into flame (Al-Quds Brigades)".

The faction further published files that belong to Zionist soldiers and that
included important information (personal papers, names, birthdays, duties,
private and work phone numbers, emails, jobs, positions, ID numbers, ages, and
addresses).

Not long ago,the current "Israeli" President Shimon Perez (RABIN) hoped that the sea
swallows Gaza and its people. But once again the besieged strip proves to be the
graveyard of "Israeli" soldiers and hopes.After the shock of shelling Tel Aviv and al-Quds, "Israeli" Knesset
members confessed:

"The bombings of Tel Aviv and "Jerusalem" made "Israel" lose
the name of the state."

On the military level, "Israel" is governed by the Palestinian resistance new achievement.
According to "Haaretz" "Israeli" daily, Hamas reached drone-production capabilities.
"Israel" military sources indicated that al-Qassam Brigades is in advanced development stages and was preparing to conduct flight tests.Al-Manar

In its Friday night main broadcast, the Israeli Channel Ten , publishedshowinganattemptbyHamasto launch a drone"with acapacityofassaultandcarryingdestructiveweapons."

The sources claimed"that the drone hasthe ability to fly tensofkilometersandthatthearmymanaged tohit a storecontaining a number ofsuch aircrafts,with precise offensivecapabilities."

Late on Thursday, Hamas said its military
branch, Izzeddin Qassam Brigades have downed an Israeli drone over Gaza. Sky News Arabic reported that Hamas has captured two Israeli prisoners of war. The prisoners were operating the an Israeli F16 reportedly downed.

We are delighted frankly to meet Khaled Mash’al again whom we have seen lately enjoying his time in five stars Dawha hotels where he was frequently served shrimp meals which is his favorite dish . But now that the war has escalated between Gaza and Israel Mr Mish’al is not going to miss on showing us his fervent commitment and daring stands that were halted for some time due to the striking of some dubious deals with the Arabs of the gulf. Never the less Mr.Mish’al is back and is honoring us again with his assertive presence and his fiery speech which he gave from Sudan . Mr Mash’al is asking Arabs to support Gaza and to stand beside the Palestinians in these hard times and he expounded about the big sacrifices, that are being offered . The least one could that Mr Mash’al was not at all convincing , he has simply lost his credibility after we saw him bowing in front of the prince of Qatar . One cannot have everything Mr Mash’al. one cannot have everything and serve God and the oil money . One has to chose between the two and you could have thanked the countries who provided you with the various missiles with which you are defending yourself . These countries are non other than Iran which you did not even mention and Syria against which you are conspiring ,but there is -truly- very little to expect from the Munafiq you have become.!

Not long ago, the current "Israeli"
President Shimon Perez(Rabin) hoped that the sea swallows Gaza and its people. But once
again the besieged strip proves to be the graveyard of "Israeli" soldiers and
hopes.

4 years on the failing Zionist Cast Lead Operation on Gaza,
"Israel" sinks deep into the strip's quick sand and its clouds veils any ray of
hope for both "Israel's" military and political leadership.On Wednesday,
"Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the launch of the wide
"Pillar of Cloud" aggression against Gaza. However, with time, "Israel"
discovered that its miscalculations in Gaza are just a duplicate of their
failures in 2008 assault on the strip and 2006 defeat in Lebanon.

Once
again, history is written by the resistance: The proud Iron Dome falls in the
trap of Iranian made rockets.Various "Israeli"
Goals:In an attempt to uncover some of the military and political aspects
of "Israel's" continuous offensive as well as the Palestinian resistance
surprises, moqawama.org interviewed the Islamic Jihad representative in Lebanon
Abu Imad Rifai.According to Rifai, the "Israeli"
goals ranged from political calculations to those linked to the regional
map.

He further referred to "Israeli" military official's announcement that "Tel Aviv seeks to restore some of its deterrence prestige in face of Gaza resistant factions, which were able to rip it."

Surprises to Shake "Israel"However, Rifai confirmed: "Israel" will never achieve any of its goals or impose its condition through the Pillar of Clouds or any other aggression.

"We have one choice i.e. resistance and determination to achieve victory and protect our land and sanctities," he added.

On the Palestinian resistance surprises and particularly the Islamic Jihad Fajir 5 missile that hit Tel Avi, the party's representative vowed that "the coming surprises are unprecedented."

"This is only the beginning. "Israel" must acknowledge and be aware of the heavy prices of the coming resistance surprises," he warned.

In parallel, Rifai pledged that "Gaza's insistence on victory will turn it to burial ground for Zionist aggressors."
He expressed confidence in the resistance abilities to confront "Israel" despite the limited capabilities and the siege's repercussions. "Gaza will drag "Israel" into the existential abyss," the
Palestinian official vowed, and pointed out ""Israel" began to taste the
bitterness of defeat with the expansion of resistance rocket shelling deep into
Tel Aviv, al-Quds, and Zionist settlements."

According to Rifai, the pictures
of "Israeli" military and political leaders rushing into shelters due to
Palestinian rockets reflected their inability and thrashing.

"As "Israel" is
governed by fear, it is no longer able to tower its pillar of smoke into cloud
as it promised," he said.

The Islamic Jihad representative also clarified
that "the resistance in Gaza is repeating the 2006 Lebanese victory; thus,
making "Israel" retreat its announced goals."

"A current "Israeli" defeat in
Gaza, after 2008 and 2006 defeats in the strip and South Lebanon, will make
"Israel" believe that it has no place for its oppressing entity in our region,"
Rifai iterated.

Ready for Ground Invasion,
No place for Truce

Regarding the "Israeli" threats of military invasion and more
massacres, the official reminded: "On 2008, "Israel" played all its bloody cards
against our people. However, our will conquered their massacres and military
superiority."

He further mentioned: "During the Cast
Lead Operation, the toppled Egyptian regime stood against the resistance. Today,
the circumstances are different."

""Israeli" leaders are fully aware that any
ground invasion will have its heavy cost on the entity," Rifai said.

On
the talk about truce, the Palestinian official stressed that "such a request
from the visiting Egyptian Prime Minister is surprising in its timing especially
that "Israel" is escalating its aggression against the strip."

"The
period urges Arabs and Muslim leaders and people to support and defend the
Palestinian people rather than ask for truce," Rifai concluded.

One should not be lured by ‘Ali abu Ni’ma of the Electronic Intifada who seemed to take a radical stand on TV while arguing on al Jazeera in favor of Gaza, but one should rather look closely at the kind of thought waged by Ab...

u Ni’ma and the BDS ( Boycott, Divest and Sanction) movement of which the Electronic Intifada is part . This BDS movement that includes the Electronic Intifada is an NGO funded by the European Union which is a basic ally of Israel, and by George Soros who is himself a liberal Zionist and other organizations as well .While they call for boycotting Israeli goods, they take money from the greatest partner of Israel who has the greatest rate of exchange with Israel which is the European union . And while calling for Boycotting goods and Art and academic exchange with Israel they never tried to call for a ban on the shipment of weapons to Israel that originates from EU or US . We can even say that BDS and Electronic Intifada are indirectly hired by Israel whose interest they serve. The main idea of such a group is to acknowledge and recognize the state of Israel and seek a solution for the Palestinian problem within the framework of Israel . They consider Israel an apartheid state which it that should follow the south African model and apply the formula adopted previously by south Africa in order to end the Apartheid . According to this Israel is supposed to annex the occupied territories taken in 1967 to form one country that is Israel that will give up its racial policies and give the Palestinians their legal tights . This is– in a nut shell- how ‘Ali abu Ni’ma conceives the solution of the Palestinian problem which- not only is out of place because Palestine is not South Africa but seems to solve the Israel Problem rather than the Palestinian one.

Notice the drawing above taken from the Electronic Intifada and notice how they equarte between Syria and Israel and consider them as one and the same . This is exactly the kind of propaganda that serves the Zionist agenda .

It is official now: As the German evening news just has announced – the German government wants that the German Army (Bundeswehr) participates in the Turkish war of aggression against Syria.
The decision of the German Government about the participation of the German Army in the war of aggression against Syria is already made according to the German evening news (“Tagesschau”).
What should be examined now should be just the point whether the German government seeks the OK of the German Bundestag for the participation in the war of aggression against Syria or not.
Specifically, the German government wants therefore to move 170 German soldiers, armed with Patriot anti-aircraft missiles, to Turkey.

The participation of German soldiers in the war of aggression against Syria is covered by the propaganda that this is just the German contribution to the defence of the NATO ally Turkey.
That the operation of the German soldiers is in reality about the participation of German soldiers in the war of aggression against Syria is even indirectly acknowledged by the German news “Tagesschau” by writing the following:

The “Patriot” missiles as well as controling flights of the Turkish fighter jets along the border should therefore ensure that the Syrian Air force is no more able to act in a strip south of the border. By this, a “protective shield” is created, without violating the sovereign Syrian territory.

It is reported here openly that the function of the German soldiers is to ensure that the Syrian Air force is no longer able to act in “the south of the border” – i.e. in Syria.

However, when the German Army wants to avoid that the Syrian Air force fights against the mercenaries and death squads coming from Turkey on Syrian soil at the border to Turkey, so it means, that the task of the German soldiers actually consists of the task to fire at the Syrian army within Syria, without the situation that Syria attacks targets in NATO territory.

This is the classic definition of a war of aggression: the Army of a state or of an alliance of states bombards the army of another state, without been previously attacked, or even to just fear an attack from this state.

Thereby, so the German evening news writes, that a “protective shield” should be created by the use of the German Bundeswehr (German army) in Syria, it also describes frankly the tactical aim that is pursued by the planned use of the German army in the framework of the war of aggression against Syria.

Namely, that the German army (Bundeswehr) should give the death squads, which penetrate into Syria from Turkey, a kind of covering fire so that they are no longer successfully fought by the Syrian Arab army. That sovereign Syrian territory gets not violated by the shelling of the Syrian Air force from Turkey is a Zionistic lie.

Of course, the German Bundeswehr violates sovereign Syrian territory if the German army fires at aircrafts of the Syrian Arab army in Syria, even when in the case of such an attack just German bullets and no German soldiers are entering Syria.

Should somebody not in the near term set some bounds to the German government, it is probably almost that time again that it resounds from the German “Volksempfänger” (“people’s receiver”): “Since 5:45 a.m., we’ve been shooting back.

However, TelAviv and Jerusalem,for the first timesince1948, are within the Palestinianresistance arms, andthatIsraelis witnessingan attrition war destroying what is leftof theirprestige,andBenjaminNetanyahu chance to win the election.

For Israel, the assault on Gaza has multiple aims. The most immediate is to intimidate the Islamist militants who operate out of the coastal enclave.......The message from Israel is: “Resistance is futile.”...

Israeli officials make clear they do not want to destroy Hamas, which though categorized as a terrorist organization is nonetheless the most moderate group currently operating in Gaza. It has launched missiles only rarely since the last offensive Israel launched, in December 2008, in which 1,400 Palestinians were killed......Since then, most rockets are fired by other militant groups, such as the Iranian-backed Islamic Jihad, and an assortment of Salafist groups like the Army of Islam.

Hamas actually worked hard to prevent the launches – most of the time. Occasionally it looked the other way, and on rare occasions even joined in the firing, mostly to demonstrate it hadn’t gone pacifist.Since surprising even itself by winning parliamentary elections in Gaza and the West Bank in 2006, notes Benedetta Berti, a researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv....."In order to stay in power, they need to deal with Israel, they need stability, so they have to make sure things are almost quiet. But if it’s entirely quiet, they lose credibility and people defect from the Iz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades,” the military wing of Hamas.“Up until yesterday we had pretty clear rules of the game,” says Berti, who recently co-authored a book on Hamas and Hizballah.

“Hamas through the Iz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades basically was policing the border for Israel 90% of the time. Then every few months we had these short-lived escalations ended by a cease-fire, then we had a few months of relative calm.”

—In recent months, however, the escalations became more frequent, and the calm more relative. The increase in attacks reflected a change in policy within the organization. The number of rockets launched into Israel - where a million civilians were vulnerable, running to shelters when sirens sounded - increased after Hamas’ longtime political chief, Khaled Meshaal, failed to persuade a majority of the leadership to set aside violence and join forces with Mahmoud Abbas, the leader of the secular Fatah movement and head of the Palestinian Authority, which governs the West Bank, the other Palestinian territory.Abbas, also known as Abu Mazen, argues for ending the 45-year Israeli occupation through nonviolent means, including a current effort to win recognition as a state from the United Nations General Assembly on Nov. 29.Read more:River toSeaUprooted PalestinianThe views expressed in this article are the sole responsibility of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of this Blog!

While the American and British media concentrate on the deaths of 3 Israelis during Israel's latest genocidal attacks on Gaza, we would do well to remember that the Jewish Terrorist State has killed on average 2 Palestinians A DAY FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS.

On Thursday, The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) issued a report stating that more than 7000 Palestinians were killed by Israeli soldiers and settlers in the occupied Palestinian territories over the past ten years.

Palestinian Children Killed By Army Fire - File

The PCBS said that 7342 Palestinians were killed in the period between September 29, 2000 and December 31, 2010.

The report stated that by the end of 2009, the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli fire arrived to 7235, including 2183 killed by Israeli fire in the West Bank.

2059 of the slain Palestinians in the West Bank are males and 124 are females.

In the Gaza Strip, the army killed 5015 Palestinians, 4601 of them are males, and 414 are females. The rest of the casualties are from the 1948 territories. The year 2009 was the bloodiest year as Israeli soldiers killed 1219 Palestinians comparing to 1192 killed in 2002.

107 persons, including 9 Turkish peace activists, were killed by Israeli army fire in 2010.

The Turkish activists were killed when the Israeli army pirated the Mavi Marmara solidarity ship in international waters as it was approaching the Gaza shore along with the rest of the “Freedom Flotilla” solidarity convoy to deliver urgently needed medical and humanitarian supplies to the besieged Gaza Strip.

The PCBS report also indicated that Israeli soldiers kidnapped nearly 750.000 Palestinians since 1967. Among the kidnapped were 12.000 women and dozens of thousands of children.

It added that more than 6000 Palestinians are still imprisoned by Israel, including dozens of persons from different Arab countries. 820 detainees were sentenced to at last one life term.

There are 37 female detainees, and 425 children, who are currently imprisoned by Israel, in addition to 136 detainees who have been in prison since more than 20 years. 41 detainees have been imprisoned since more than 25 years and four have been in prison since more than 30 years.

The PCBS said that since the outbreak of the Al Aqsa Intifada on September 28, 2000, the army kidnapped 70.000 Palestinians, including 8000 children and 850 women. Four of the kidnapped women were pregnant when kidnapped and delivered their children while shackled on prison clinic beds.

Israel also kidnapped dozens of elected ministers, legislators and officials, and issued more than 20.000 Administrative Detention orders against the detainees.

Administrative Detention is when Israel claims obtaining “a secret file” against certain detainees and can keep renewing the order indefinitely without pressing charges against the detainees.

Israel’s assault on Gaza raises doubts that it has any interest in finding the lasting peace settlement it proclaims to want. Does the campaign have an alternative objective as part of a strategy to engineer a strike on Iran?

It’s probably the world’s most tragic never-ending story. For almost 65 years now, Israel has been bombing, maiming and humiliating the Palestinians, bulldozing their homes and placing Gaza in lock-down mode turning it into the world’s largest concentration camp.

In the latest outbreak of violence this week both sides are accusing the other, “You started it!”Who knows? At this stage, does it really matter anymore who started the violence?

On Wednesday 14th, an Israeli helicopter attack killed Hamas military wing leader Ahmed Jabari, triggering a violent reaction from Hamas which rained little rockets over southern Israeli towns, which in turn brought in more Israeli air attacks killing 19, injuring 100 and leaving six children dead.

Clearly, Israel’s right-wing leaders do not want a peaceful agreement with the Palestinians.That’s why they’ve systematically sabotaged all possibility of reaching a two-state solution.

The last honest Israeli who tried to bring peace was Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, until he was gunned down in the streets of Tel-Aviv in November 1995; not by an Islamic fanatic, not by some mad Neo-Nazi, but by one Ygal Amir: an ultra-right-wing Zionist fanatic linked to both the fundamentalist Settlers’ Movement and Israel’s security agency Shin-Beth.

Since then, Israel’s extreme right-wing Apartheidists have called the shots and will continue doing so even more now that Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party has merged with Avigdor Lieberman’s Yisrael Beitenu.Maybe this latest bout of Palestine-bashing is their way of celebrating their new Gross Partei…

‘Don’t worry about America…’

Former Israeli PM Ariel Sharon is infamously quoted as yelling to his colleagues during a heated debate in Israel’s Knesset in October 2001, that they need not worry about American reaction to Israel’s Palestine-bashing because “we the Jewish people control America!"

Watching how US politicians file through powerful Pro-Israel lobbies, think tanks and organizations like AIPAC – American Israeli Public Affairs Committee -, the ADL and others, competing to give their most impassioned and dramatic pro-Israel speeches, one is tempted to believe Mr. Sharon’s candid words.

During the recent US presidential campaign both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney each tried to give their most convincing Joe Biden-like “I-am-a-Zionist” speeches, to win over not just the Jewish vote and money in America, but also the Zionist vote which is represented by many non-Jewish born-again Christians.

So, when earlier this week US Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice openly supported Israel and condemned Hamas’ retaliatory attacks describing them as “violence that Hamas and other terrorist organizations are employing against the people of Israel", one can hardly be surprised.
It doesn’t really matter who sits in the Oval office; whether Democrat or Republican, the US will always unthinkingly and unreservedly support Israel every time it decides to play a new round of Palestine-bashing.

Naturally, US and global mainstream media willingly oblige, having succeeded in drilling deep into the collective psyche the conclusion that “Terrorism” is always linked to “Islamic Fundamentalists”.
So, Hamas is made illegitimate before we even start discussions about a two-state solution.No matter that Hamas won the democratically held 2006 elections in Palestine; no matter that Israel itself was founded by violent terrorist groups like Irgun Zvai Leumi, Stern and Hagganah which later merged to become Israel’s – oh, so democratic! – Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).

Those Zionist terror groups were led by Israeli founding fathers later to become prime ministers (and even a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate!) like Menahem Beguin and Isaac Shamir, who in their “freedom-fighter” days blew up hotels with dozens of people inside them, assassinated UN envoys, carried out hundreds of targeted assassinations, and imposed policies of genocide by killing and maiming hundreds of thousands, and then driving off millions of Palestinian men, women and children from their homes and land using the most barbarous terror tactics.

Israel’s logic in Palestine seems to run like this: if Israel steals lands and homes and livelihoods from the Palestinians, they have no right whatsoever to complain; and if they dare fight back, then they automatically become “terrorists”.America, the UK and most of the EU seem to agree…

Good if I do it; bad if you do…

That’s why those countries have branded Hamas and Hezbollah “terrorist organizations”.
Basic political common sense, however, tells us that a nation’s armed forces – whether in the US, Russia, China, Brazil or Israel – must report to the civilian leaders of its Nation-State.But what happens if, like the Palestinians, you are not allowed to have a Nation-State?How can Palestinians defend themselves against Israel’s systematic terrorist tactics if they can’t have their own Nation-State and therefore no armed forces?That’s why Hamas and Hezbollah came into the picture to offer the prospect of some self-defense.
Sure, it’s easy to disqualify them as “terrorist organizations” but – using that same criteria – would the Western Powers today reclassify the French Resistance during world war two, for example, as a “terror organization”, simply because they refused to passively accept the German military invasion of their country?Should the Resistance have given up so as to avoid the Oberkommando in Berlin branding them as “terrorists”?
And what about the terror groups that assassinated Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi last year or the ones wreaking havoc in Syria right now?“Freedom fighters”, I presume, because they violently oppose non-US friendly regimes?
The West must understand that you can’t have it both ways: either the French Resistance, and Irgun and Stern, and Hamas and Hezbollah, the Syrian and Libyan uprisings are all “freedom fighters” or, they should all be branded “terrorist organizations”.You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

All options on the table…

Going into full Baby-Bush-warmonger-mode, recently an IDF spokesman threatened not just the Palestinians but the entire world saying that for Israel, “all options are on the table…”

Powerful words coming from the only nation in the Middle East that has an arsenal of nuclear weapons, and the behavioral track record that gives credibility to their willingness to use them.

So, Palestinians must brace themselves for ever increasing levels of violence in the days and weeks to come.Will this latest flare-up be used by Israel as an excuse to attack southern Lebanon where Hezbollah has its strong hold (and where Israel was routed when they last invaded Lebanon for the nth time in mid-2006)?

Are we seeing a crescendo of violence leading to armed attack on Syria in conjunction with Turkey/NATO and with the “Syrian Free Army” (aka, Al-Qaeda, CIA, Mossad, MI6)?
Is this all part of an Israeli strategy to “Secure the Realm” that has a unilateral military attack against Iran as Israel’s real and final goal?

More generalized violence in the Middle East will help to convince Obama (and the US military) to stop dragging their feet on Iran and to come on strong again in the region.

Israel is calling this latest shock and awe attack “Operation Pillar of Defense.” A Good Orwellian euphemism for Palestine-Bashing.

If Israel has decided to let all hell lose in the Middle East to set the stage for an attack against Iran, then it becomes clear that the violence should start (yet again!!) in martyred Palestine.

OK, so Israel starts a new Middle Eastern war in Palestine but… where does it end?
